So.... I am about to say something that will likely ruffle feathers, but sometimes we need it. I am not mad at Wahlberg for asserting his worth and demanding to be paid for reshoots. I’m upset with how the situation was presented to Michelle. She should have been given all the information to make an informed not emotional decision. We have to take a page out of this playbook of negotiating. And if we are really going to have the equal pay conversation, we have to discuss the gross disparity in pay for WOC. Producers and studios will always point to box office performance as if we have been given countless opportunities to lead films. Well, this weekend my girl @tarajiphenson has #ProudMary opening. Let’s help her have a huge weekend so that the next time they say WOC don’t open movies: we can point to #HiddenFigures #GirlsTrip and #ProudMary as recent debunkers. #knowOurWorth
